Hello everyone, good evening,This time I have a card for you, which I have made for the MDUC challenge of this week. The challenge was a sketch made by Kylie Kueter. It was a nice sketch with a lot of possibilities.Because I also want to post my card to a few other challenges, I have made the card in blue and brown as main colours.A very good friend of my, will very soon move together with her hushband to the other side of our country, so I made this card for her to say goodbye, but not forever.I am very sure she likes it and I also hope you like it too.

I will post this card also by Tomic 38 Friendship and Doohickey and by Magnolia Licious Blue and Brown.

Welcome to my new followers, I'm glad you started following my blog and I'd like to share my creative ideas with you. Despite a very bussy week I managed to finish my creation for this weeks MDUC on time. I was almost too late though. This week I made a present for a newborn baby and her mother. The daughter of a good friend of mine was pregnant. First I made a few baby socks from an old pattern that I learned from my own mother. After that I wanted to make a little train to wrap the socks in. I hope she likes it and I'm also curious to know what you think of my new creation.

Hey everyone,It's me again with a new card for the MDUC. This week is the challenge: "Love is in the air" and it isn't necessary to make a Valentinescard. So I decided to make a photocard for my little granddaughter Syrah, who lives at my place and who I raise. After a periode of big problems, my hushband and I decided to take the little girl and her very young father, our son in our house. Syrah and her granddaddy were always together and they had a very strong bond. After a nice vacation my hushband went ill, and went to the hospital. 6 Weeks later he passed away. My little girl doesn't understand why he won't come back. We told her that her granddaddy is by the stars now. Some weeks ago, she asked me: grandmammy can you buy me a rocket please, then I fly to the stars and I'll search for granddaddy. Well you can understand it broke my heart, because she misses him so much and I can't give her what she asks for. So I decided to make this photocard for her, because I think that there is not a bigger love than this one.

What a week I had. I’ve had a lot of people from around the world visiting my blog since Saturday. It was a big surprise for me to find out that I had won the MDUC, I never expected that. I had participated in a few card challenges, but I had never won before. This time I was lucky and I was really glad, especially since this was my first Australian card challenge.

Today I made another card for the MDUC, because I really liked this challenge. Almost every other challenge has a Valentines theme and after making one Valentines card I felt like doing something different. For this challenge I had to make a card with just Edwin, Tilda was on vacation this week. I really like the stamps with Edwin, so I was immediately enthusiastic. This time I chose to use an older stamp. It’s really a shame that the old stamps are easily forgotten when there are new stamps. I used ‘Sherwood Edwin’. I used the story of Wilhelm Tell as inspiration. My Wilhelm still needs a little bit of practice though.

I’d love to hear your thoughts about my card. I wish everyone a good weekend, despite the cold weather. Perhaps some of you will be ice skating tomorrow, but I prefer to stay indoors and make a new card.

Till next week and with love from Holland

Dorothy
